WE DON’T JUST SELL BAGS, WE BUILD PROGRAMS!

Recycle My Bag (RMB) Program

RMB is an Environmental Stewardship Program. It aims to give retailers an option to not only recycle their customers bags, but to use the end product (plastic lumber) to build plaground equipment, outdoor seating and more. Retailers can now close the loop on reusability and benefit from the positive outcomes surrounding the program, in multiple ways!
